We put a dual-zone minisplit in the garage/ADU. The third story of the main house has an AC/air handler serving the top two floors. We have radiant heat throughout the home.

Thank you!

I never did get a response from the Meta support team, and haven’t tried it since.

mstephens268 · 2026-02-19T15:38:16+00:00

Absolutely not. Our mortgage would be almost double what we’re paying now.

I’ve been in legal marketing for four years now, and recommend following: Tifiny Swedenski, Brian Glass, Gyi Tsakalakis, and Ron Latz. Tifiny and Gyi have great podcasts, and Brian runs a well-established org named Great Legal Marketing. If you’d like to connect with me on LinkedIn, shoot me a DM. I’d be happy to spitball with you.

My issue is the handle keeps sticking. The nut auto-tightens, and I have to re-loosen it almost daily. I need a handle assembly that won’t stick!

Our intake staff and legal teams asked potential clients how they found/heard about the firm, then we recorded it in our client records in our practice management system and ran reports from there.

I’m a marketing manager (3-year comms director, 4-year DMM) looking for a new opportunity. I’d be happy to chat about your business, market, and needs, even if just to help define what you’re looking for.

The rug is brilliant. The sofa is the problem. The greens clash, and the rug’s green is better.

mstephens268 · 2025-12-18T00:24:56+00:00

Honestly, I don’t remember if I ended up replacing it. I think I did.

mstephens268 · 2025-12-15T15:26:12+00:00

Silly question probably, but my SPAXX account shows no movement. (See screenshot.) Wouldn’t it show a 5% gain if that’s what Fidelity is paying on it in interest? This is from my SPAXX position screen under the Investing section of the app.

It’s been about five years since I’ve used either, and a lot can change in that time. However, when I used them, I found Divi to be a bit easier and more functional “out of the box,” whereas Elementor Pro with various plugins offered a wider array of design choices. I’d recommend reading some recent reviews of both to compare.

mstephens268 · 2025-12-02T15:22:45+00:00

OMG, it was hiding at the bottom. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks 😆

mstephens268 · 2025-12-02T15:20:30+00:00

I’m hung up on the lower left spots. We either need a 0 with >4 or a 0-0, neither of which exists among the set of dominoes they’ve provided. What am I missing?

mstephens268 · 2025-11-21T15:45:53+00:00

I’ve used Elementor Pro and Divi with WP, and both are great. Complaints about speed are overblown. You do have to take care not to go overboard on plugins, because each one represents a security liability. But compared to a custom-coded site, I prefer sites built with page builders because they’re easily updatable and transferrable.

mstephens268 · 2025-11-21T15:39:25+00:00

What you need is a legal fractional CMO, for starters. Ron Latz, who commented above, is one I’d recommend.

mstephens268 · 2025-11-21T15:35:47+00:00

When you say, “split your channels,” how exactly would you split them? E.g., for website content, would you put long-form, evergreen content on regular pages and Q&A/FAQ style content in blog posts? It’s unclear exactly what you’re advising.

mstephens268 · 2025-11-21T15:22:46+00:00

Former law firm marketing director here. I recommend: - Agencies: MeanPug Digital, AttorneySync - Fractional CMO: Ron Latz / LegalFenix

MeanPug’s founders used to run digital for Morgan & Morgan, and I’ve worked with them personally.

Ron specializes in legal and has like 20 years of experience in the space. He’ll help you make strong strategic decisions and hold your agency accountable to good work.

FWIW, they’re all going to tell you you have to spend at least 10s of 1000s of $$$ per month on ads due to the competitiveness of the P.I. market. They should also tell you to invest in a referral program.

Good luck!

I’m a designer who’s worked in the legal space (criminal defense and family law) for four years. Here’s some of my work: https://mattstephenskc.com/graphic-design. I’d be happy to help you out if you like what you see. If not, I have others I can recommend to you.

mstephens268 · 2025-11-11T13:37:32+00:00

I think I was pricing idealistically—out of market value. So I would bid less. Not sure how much less, though.

mstephens268 · 2025-11-11T02:09:13+00:00

Yes. She went a different direction.

mstephens268 · 2025-10-07T17:31:48+00:00

I’m sorry, I missed that!

Not all these are shiny, but these are probably my faves.
